What has diplomacy taught us? That the other side will not keep commitments and those guaranteeing those commitments will not keep their word to do so.

Duh. Israel should have learned that lesson long ago – long before that disastrous Oslo stupidity, which the fakestinians broke on the first day and have never honored, since. The Oslo accords were dead on arrival but Israel, stupidly, allowed themselves to be the only party held to them. It’s beyond crazy.

Meanwhile, the UN is as bad as the arabs with respect to honoring contracts – the lifeblood of modern civilization. After Israel inked a deal to establish firm northern borders and pull out of Lebanon (which it had to go into because the PLO was using Lebanon as a base for attacks – after they had been thrown out of Jordan) the UN turned around and violated every element of that deal, allowed Hezbollah to build up arms, and then put Shebaa Farms BACK ON THE TABLE for “negotiations” (which had already been done and signed) to make a mockery of the UN agreement.

Anyone who thinks the UN has any concept of good faith negotiating is demented. The UN is a third world entity that is about as trustworthy and honest as the third world. Israel has known for decades that the UN is out to destroy it. I can only blame Israel at this point for staying in that fetid organization. They should leave, as the US should have left the UN years ago, too. Only the dimmest among us would even think that an organization like the UN – an empowered, peerless, competitionless entity – should even exist. Even a passing familiarity with evolutionary theory or capitalist theory … or just plain common sense informs one that such an unnatural entity is guaranteed to grow in grotesque and destructive ways, as the UN has amply demonstrated over the years. The UN is not a useless organization, by any means, but a very dangerous one that must be put out of our misery.
